Unstoppable marks the follow-up to the sports drama Air, from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity company. Director William Goldenberg, a veteran editor who also cut Air, brings a similar optimism and authenticity to this film. Weaving Jerome’s competition performance together with visual effects and Robles himself doubling in some shots, the wrestling scenes carry the on-the-mat urgency of genuine footage.
The real-life Robles has long been a champion for accessibility, and this film will no doubt bring his message to a wider public. Even better, it wraps that message in persuasive, deeply affecting drama.
